Based on extensive research, and grounded in everyday classroom
practice, the authors of this book explore important issues
surrounding play in the early years curriculum. The book presents
children's views on, and response to their role-play environment,
alongside examples of good classroom practice, and addresses vital
questions such as:
- Will structuring role play replace children's own attempts to
create scenarios that grow out of their interests and
relationships?
- Has an over-emphasis on subjects like literacy and numeracy
eclipsed the important processes inherent in children's social
play?
- How we can ensure that provision for role play fully benefits
all young children?
Critically, the authors present the child's perspective on play
in schools throughout, and argue firmly against a formal,
inflexible learning environment for young children. This book will
be fascinating to all students on primary education undergraduate
courses and early childhood studies. Researchers and course leaders
will also find this book a ground-breaking read.
